Abstract
ABSTRACTThe management of postsurgical defect is a challenge for the maxillofacial surgeon. With the success of various autogenous grafts and surgical flaps the reconstruction surgery creates definitive results. This article is a case report of reconstruction of osseous defect and closure of soft tissue fenestration in the right anterior maxilla. An autogenous corticocancellous graft from the mandibular symphysis is used for reconstruction of the osseous defect of around 15 × 15 mm. The mucosal fenestration of around 10 × 10 mm is closed by rotational flap based in the labial sulcus. The defect and the donor site healed uneventfully. Both osseous and mucosal defect healed with esthetic results. Thus, the regional flaps prove the versatility by convenience of graft taking, no donor site morbidity and biological resemblance of tissues.How to cite this articleManekar VS.
